France, one of the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, welcomes Azerbaijan's release of 15 Armenian detainees as well as Armenia's transmittal of maps to minefields in the Azerbaijani district of Aghdam, Trend reports citing the French Europe and Foreign Affairs Ministry.
''This is an important gesture toward helping to deescalate tensions and rebuilding trust between the parties with the aim of achieving a lasting peace in the Caucasus,'' the ministry said.
''France calls on the parties to continue consolidating the ceasefire; the full and effective implementation of the commitments included in the agreement reached by the parties on November 9, 2020,'' the ministry said.
